HOOSICK — A bicyclist who was hit by an allegedly impaired driver three months ago on Route 22 has died from his injuries.

Matthew Ratelle, 39, of Petersburgh was riding his bicycle north on the right shoulder of the road near the Barbecue Recreation Bowling Center restaurant about 8:30 a.m. Sept. 3 when he was struck from behind. The northbound vehicle was driven by Becky Goodermote, 37, who police have said may have been texting at the time of the accident.

Rensselaer County District Attorney Richard McNally said Ratelle, who was hospitalized and in a coma as a result of his injuries, died around noon Thursday.

The district attorney's office and Goodermote's attorney, Michael Jurena, had a conference Thursday afternoon during which Jurena submitted motions to have his client's restrictive driving conditions, established as a part of her bail, lifted. County Judge Robert Jacon denied the request.

Following the accident, Goodermote was charged with leaving the scene of a serious personal injury accident, operating a vehicle while impaired by drugs, driving with a suspended registration and failure to use due care.

The case will now go before a grand jury and Goodermote could face more serious charges.

Ratelle, who leaves a wife and three young children, landed about 30 yards from where he was struck and suffered massive trauma despite wearing a helmet. He was taken to Bennington Hospital and then airlifted to Albany Medical Center, where he had been in a coma since the crash.

Ratelle had parked his vehicle at a Route 7 Sunoco gas station and ridden about two miles up Route 22 on his bicycle when he was hit.

State Police examined data from Ratelle's GPS device to determine where he was before the crash.

State Police said Goodermote, who runs a bookkeeping service in the village, left the scene without contacting authorities. She and the vehicle were located when a concerned family member advised police that Goodermote returned home with extensive damage to her vehicle that she could not explain, State Police said.
